Mechanics

What Broken Shovel (First Piece) does

  • While carried, Mom's Foot repeatedly targets Isaac; using the active item pauses the stomps for the current room or Boss Rush wave.
  • Holding this piece opens Boss Rush even after the usual time limit, where the second piece can be earned.

Practical note

Keep moving between stomps and save the active use for a wave where dodging is hardest.
